LIFE AT A DISCOUNTED RATE

LIFE AT A DISCOUNTED RATE

As the old story goes, “you get what you paid for”.  If you are living life at a discounted rate, consider yourself lucky.  Most of us pay (balance of give and take) for what we enjoy in life either by retribution or through acts of kindness.  At some point, we get what we deserve. 

Living life to the fullest means that you are enjoying what life offers and sharing it with others either by direct contact or through gifts of kindness, caring, compassion, love and forgiveness.  Balance is always reached eventually. Although you may feel that life has been unfair to you thus far, perhaps you need to have a closer look and pay attention to what you have and not to what is missing.

In some cases, however, there are those living with hatred and deceit. Balance never seems to fall into place. Some suffer silently from recent experiences or from experiences from childhood. We likely will never know what has taken place with some individuals.

Until we walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, we have no concept of why they are who they are today. Balance or justice on some level will be served. Fairness is always in place even when we, as mortals, cannot perceive it. There is so much going on in life beneath the surface that we do not and cannot understand.

Justice will be served, balance will be reached, but we may not understand it.

Do not waste life searching for retribution because by doing so we are allowing an event or experience to live in our head and it is us who are paying the rent. Karma does not need our help. To seek revenge, perhaps by that shear desire for it, is actually affecting us in a negative way.

If we are waiting for life to bend to our wants because we believe we deserve it, we may be paying a high price for those expectations.  Don’t waste the opportunity to live by waiting for something to happen. We are only allowing that event to rob us of truly living. 

Events do not define us. Our response to events, especially attitude and focus, gives us our quality of life. Are we living life at a discounted rate or are we paying far too much to just exist and missing the enjoyment of living?

How we relate to ourselves has a huge impact on how we live our lives under current circumstances.

LEO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026

LEO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026

Today, August 12, 2026, we will be experiencing a Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse.  It crosses Greenland, Iceland and Spain and those of us in Canada or the USA will experience a partial view. 

It is closest to the South Node, rather than the North Node, out by about 9° in the same sign (Leo).  Those with planets or angles in the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio and Leo) within a 3° orb of influence, so 17 to 23 ° of these signs will be the most affected by this major celestial event. 

A Solar Eclipse closer to the South Node than the North Node often makes things quite challenging and pushes you to let go of something that is holding you back.  Without letting go and ending conditions, something new, which is what is being called for, may never materialize. 

Because this is in the sign of Leo at 20°, it has to do with leadership, individuality and/or any creative endeavors you might be involved in, especially anything that might put you in the limelight or draw attention to you.  It will be a time of new beginnings. For a new beginning to take hold, we must let go of something old and outdated. This creates an ending of sorts before we can begin anew.

The effects of this Solar Eclipse will have a lasting impact on those effected. The energies can last up to one year. Astrologers believe that the time the eclipse lasts in hours is equal to the years it will be affecting your life. Most certainly, however, the first six months are of most importance and have profound effects based on the planets being impacted and the houses involved in the chart.

It is time, as with all Leo individuals, to be your true self and if by chance you have been overly busy in the past, you might want to take some time off and enjoy life a little.  Take a holiday from your obligations, have some fun, and take a break.  If you don’t do this, you might feel very drained and worn out.  This eclipse can take a lot of energy out of you as you merge into what is unfolding in your life.

Most eclipses are not an easy adjustment and the Conjunction, which is the most powerful, would involve planets in Leo in the degrees indicated, creating a merging of energies depending on what the planets involved might be.  Conjunctions are very powerful, followed by the Opposition. With the opposition, this would involve planets in Aquarius and the Opposition suggests that others seem to be orchestrating what is unfolding--an end of conditions so something new can begin. 

The Squares from Taurus and Scorpio create tension which is challenging enough that it forces you to act to alleviate these conditions.  However, do not fear what is taking hold in life due to these powerful energies in place as they are the harbingers of endings creating what is needed for something new to be put in place in your life.

With the Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse letting go and forgiveness, if this is necessary, are prime action for now and serve as a viable solution to any challenges that might be in place during this period.

TIME TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

TIME TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

A quick reminder that there are always ways to move away from a situation that does not bring peace into your life.  This is not to say that you should try to escape any life lesson because sooner or later you must deal with the situation and learn the lesson. We can become so overwhelmed by our journey at times that we need to be reminded that it is okay to take a step aside for much needed down time. Take time to inhale and to exhale. Relax!  How long has it been?

Take a holiday from life’s stressor or responsibilities.  Walk in the woods, take in nature as its wonderment is far beyond anything we can experience from something manmade.  Its beauty is captivating if we stop to see it.  

Stop for a moment, open your eyes and focus on what is right in front of you.  Find a stream, river or lake and sit. Listen to the sounds.  Let them become a part of you!

If possible, go on a mini trip. It does not have to be far away, something nearby and inexpensive.  Let go of and stop focusing on shortages. Enjoy yourself. Enjoyment does not have to cost monetarily. You can still be responsible.

If getting away for a day or two is impossible, then seize what is available. Sometimes all you need is a short relaxation technique. Meditation is the perfect fix for anxiety. Relaxation should and has to be a part of your life. 

Mindfulness and meditation go hand in hand and allows you to adopt a much more passive approach to even stressful situations.

A second good practice is to write down what is causing you anxiety. Then write down ways to improve the situation. Likely you already have what you need to aid the situation and reviewing the circumstances on paper helps you to focus.

It might be time to get away from it all for the moment. Refocus, create a plan and then put the plan in motion. Situations would not be in place if there were not a lesson to be learned.  Learn and move on!
